I have a need to convert several songs that are currently in the midi

Can someone give me a clue as to how I can go about this?
There are several debian packages which can output midi files as wav
files. Wav files can be recorded onto music cds.
Most of the packages are designed to allow you to play midi without
having midi hardware but I think they should allow you to save to a file
as well.
For example:
